The Future of Antifungal Agents. Non Azole Antifungal Agents.
We investigated the efficacy of non-azole antifungal agents. Long circulating immunoliposomal amphotericin B was potent in murine invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. The concentration of AMPH-B was still high in the lung after 6 hours of 34A-PEG-liposomal AMPH-B.

Tacrolimus as Antifungal Agent
Tacrolimus (FK506) is an immunosuppressant drug widely used to avoid organ rejection in transplant patients. It has a profound influence on the cellular stress response by interfering with the calmodulin-calcineurin signaling pathway. In this context FK506 also became a valuable antifungal drug in medical care. Here it is shown in vitro that tacrolimus
